Operation frequencies of traditional metamaterial absorbers are fixed meaning that it is not possible to change that frequency after the fabrication. Therefore, more studies are focused on the design of Tunable metamaterial absorber (TMA) since it is important to expand operation frequency. If the impedance of one or more layers of an absorber can be changed according to the applied electrical optical signal, then it would be possible to realize tunable absorbing designs. However, TMA studies reported previously are mainly focused on absorbing mechanism at microwave frequencies. In this study, TMA with varactor diode is designed and analyzed for absorber and sensor configurations. TMA is constructed by using a simple rectangular-shape geometry having two splits and a varactor diode placed at the right split. Numerical and experimental results show that perfect absorption is achieved when 0-10 V reverse bias voltage is applied. Resonance frequency can be easily tuned by changing the reverse bias voltage. Frequency dependent absorption behavior of TMA is presented with respect to different incident angles for TE and TM polarizations. A sensor application, knowing the absorption resonance frequency can provide the ability to determine the temperature of materials. The novelty of the study is to determine the temperature or the other parameters such as humidity or pressure by using TMA. It is also possible to determine the material type or its density if limited resource such as frequency generator is present.

Broadband spectral splitting of light using wavefront shaping Başay, Yalın; Yüce, Emre; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2018) Splitting of light to different frequencies is an important tool for several photonic research and applications. One of those applications is increasing the absorption of light via spectral splitting in solar energy systems. Nowadays, this splitting process is realized by fixed diffraction gratings. However, these structures can't adapt to the environmental changes and their efficiencies differ from season to season. A structure that can adapt to environmental changes would certainly increase the efficiency...
Magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole and magnetic octupole moments of the Delta baryons in light cone QCD sum rules Azizi, K. (2009-05-01) Due to the very short life time of the Delta baryons, a direct measurement on the electromagnetic moments of these systems is almost impossible in the experiment and can only be done indirectly. Although only for the magnetic dipole moments of Delta(++) and Delta(+) systems there are some experimental data, the theoretical, phenomenological and lattice calculations could play crucial role. In the present work, the magnetic dipole (mu(Delta)), electric quadrupole (Q(Delta)) and magnetic octupole (O-Delta) mo...
Optimized Electromagnetic Harvester with a Non-Magnetic Inertial Mass Ulusan, Hasan; Yasar, Oguz; Zorlu, Ozge; Külah, Haluk (2015-09-09) This paper presents an optimization study to decrease the operation frequency and increase the output power of a miniature electromagnetic (EM) energy harvester, by incorporating a non-magnetic inertial mass together with the moving magnet. The harvester coil position has been optimized through FEM, and validated through tests. Experimental studies on the inertial mass showed that increasing the magnet size further increases the resonance frequency due to the increased magnetic forces. Conversely, using a n...
Ternary nanocomposite SWNT/WO3/PANI thin film electrodes for supercapacitors Yuksel, Recep; Durucan, Caner; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah (2016-02-15) We describe a simple and fast process for the fabrication of ternary nanocomposite supercapacitor electrodes. In this work, thin film supercapacitor electrodes made up of binder-free single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by vacuum filtration followed by stamping method. Next, tungsten oxide (WO3) and polyaniline (PANI) were electrodeposited on the SWNT thin films. Combination of SWNTs and pseudocapacitive WO3 and PANI created a synergistic and complementary eff...
Nonlinear mode coupling and sheared flow in a rotating plasma Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Choi, S.; Clary, M. R.; Ellis, R. F.; Hassam, A. B.; Teodorescu, C. (IOP Publishing, 2009-01-01) Shear flow is expected to stabilize the broad spectrum of interchange modes in rotating plasmas. However, residual fluctuations may still persist. To investigate the presence of such fluctuations, sixteen magnetic pickup coils equally spaced on a crown have been mounted inside the vacuum vessel, at the edge of a rotating plasma in mirror configuration. A comprehensive analysis of the magnetic fluctuations shows that very low spatial mode numbers survive under the imposed shear flow. Nevertheless, temporal F...
